View Draft Report
It's been a rough year for Killian He missed time early in the year with elbow tendinitis, and, while he bounced back and threw seven perfect innings against Vanderbilt, he struggled through most of the rest of the regular season before putting together a dominant outing against Tennessee in the SEC tournament. There's nothing really special about Killian's stuff, but he has four pitches that he mixes and matches and locates well. His slider and changeup are generally his best secondary offerings as both flash average at best. Killian touched more 91s and 92s in the SEC tournament, but he usually sits at 87-89 mph. His delivery has a pronounced wrap in the back, but he has shown an ability to consistently repeat his delivery and throw strikes.

Arkansas' best prep pitcher this year is righthander Trey Killian, a 6-foot-3, 190-pounder with who has flashed four average pitches. His fastball generally sits in the 88-91 mph range and touches 92-93, often with above-average life. He throws a slider, curveball and changeup as well, and while all of them are somewhat raw, he has some feel for his offspeed stuff. He's a key Arkansas recruit without a true present plus pitch, leading many scouts to believe he'd be tough to buy away from the Razorbacks.
